It is not set in stone but I am leaning towards arriving Jan 25th and leaving Feb 4th.

I'll grab something quick to eat and come back to the shop to prep things for when the seller arrives.

I successfully petitioned the county to lower the assessed values (and therefore the property taxes) on my personal residence, rental property, and flip property.Instead of assessed value, you need to look at good comps for the area to see what homes are really selling for right now.

There were a couple of bumps with the closing (the out of state buyer arrived to settlemt with no check), but it all worked out.

So the "process" to arriving at a valuation might be similar but defining a "good deal" isn't anything that a one-size-fits-all-course can bring to the table.

Therefore, we are absolutely not arrive stage 11 yet.

I’d start with those questions and work backwards from there to arrive at the “where” of the internship. 

You should definitely petition the property tax authority for a lower assessment as soon as you purchase, or at the next annual review cycle.Insurance seems high as well (3.5% of your purchase price), though I have only SFRs, so don't know if duplexes are outrageous for some reason.

We had to be the only people to see this place for at least a few weeks due to weather and holidays, yet a magical offer arrived the same day as ours.

I arrive back in Hawaii on the 31st.
